Roasted Tomato Caprese Salad

Ingredients:

• 12 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, seeds removed
• 1/4 cup good quality olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
• 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 16 ounces fresh salted mozzarella
• 12 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius).
2. On a sheet pan, arrange the halved tomatoes cut side up in a single layer.
3. Drizzle the tomatoes with 1/4 cup of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar.
4. Sprinkle the minced garlic, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper over the tomatoes.
5. Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, until they are concentrated and begin to caramelize. Let the roasted tomatoes cool to room temperature.
6. Slice the mozzarella into pieces slightly less than 1/2-inch thick. If the slices are larger than the tomatoes, cut them in half.
7. Arrange the roasted tomatoes and mozzarella slices alternately on a serving platter.
8. Scatter the thinly sliced basil leaves over the tomatoes and mozzarella.
9. Lightly sprinkle the assembled salad with salt and pepper, and drizzle with a little more olive oil.
10. Serve the Roasted Tomato Caprese Salad at room temperature and enjoy!
